Outrage when private charities do what the right wing has been clamoring for - to serve the underserved.

Outrage when the government provides due process to make sure that people are fairly treated in process of deportation.

Outrage over where the government places people awaiting deportation.

Outrage over laws enacted years earlier by the previous president on grounds of compassion that are now being enforced by the sitting president in the same fashion.

Outrage when the President acts (executive orders, and using regulations) because Congress hasn’t or wont legislate.

Outrage when the President doesn’t act because Congress has already acted to cut funding (that pesky sequester again).

Outrage. It’s the only game in town from the right.

You know what’s truly outrageous? The fact that the country doesn’t have a grip on immigration policy and that any effort at comprehensive immigration reform goes nowhere.

Outrageous that this Congress only governs from crisis to crisis, while ignoring real reform. Outrageous when we’ve got infrastructure in such poor repair, that Congress refuses to act on anything other than a short-term band-aid basis because the GOP thinks that infrastructure spending equals a giveaway to unions.

It’s outrageous that every outrage is blown up to scandal proportions, when they’re really a continuation of ongoing issues that date back years and decades.

It’s outrageous that impeachment is on the tip of the GOP tongue when there isn’t a single high crime or misdemeanor mentioned anywhere. Policy disputes aren’t impeachable offenses. Not Benghazi. Not IRS. Not Fast and Furious. None of them. But it keeps the GOP campaign money rolling, so the outrageous outrage rolls on.
